It's interesting strategically, and we had many discussions about it. One bonus is that you can tweak your gear receiver without affecting your gear placer. The bigger point is that we think it'll skim time off our cycles because of the driving path. If you're one-sided, the best choice is to do a stop-and-go near the lift, which is very susceptible to defense. In this case, you do a sharp turn to line up with the nearest lift, or not so sharp and go to an alternative lift (altogether, should hold up better under defense).

It's funny, I feel like up to this point last season, we accomplished a similar amount of work. But we tried to do too much, and so we were nowhere. I'm feeling good about this year. Don't get me wrong, we're not nearly finished, so many tweaks to make and still a whole comp bot to build, but I'm just happy to have time for tweaking, testing, and practising.
